[Mr.Auror]

The Vanishing Cabinet and the Hands of Flory stand out to me the most. They also could have some of Voldemorts Horcruxes. He once worked at Borgin & Burkes and got some of the items he turned into Horcruxes there. Also there's the cursed Opal Necklace that Draco Malfoy buys from there and the Crushing Cabinet but that is a torture device and might be a tad to much for young ones lol

I TOTALLY forgot about the vanishing cabinet. And I agree that it would be cool for them to include pieces of Voldemort's backstory. The villains need some lovin' too! Especially with how many bad variations of the Bellatrix Lestrange costumes I see every Halloween. The Crushing Cabinet would be uber cool if they made it interactive. To like, dare your friends to go in it or something.

Definitely! I keep trying to think of other thing's they could be doing. Also I'm sure they will have things showing off dark potions and stuff related to Death Eaters.

I think that's just a prank to scare park guests from stealing them, but that's for another thread. I would imagine that Gringotts will not require 3D glasses.

Sources say it WILL require 3D glasses.

Even though it's supposed to be family orieneted I really hope it's on the spooky side. I mean how family oriented is it really? it's a dark magic store lol so I don't see why it can't be a little more risky along some lines.

They could Also serve cursed frogurt??? :look:

That's GOOD, wait that's BAD...wait, um....

 

[greenth1ng]

That's GOOD, wait that's BAD...wait, um....

But you get your choice of toppings.

That's GOOD.

The toppings contain potassium benzoate.

[beat]

That's BAD.

I couldn't resist!

 

[Mr.Auror]

Wait a minute. Cauldron Cakes. Florean Fortescue's. Ice Cream + Cauldron Cakes = Something I can't even imagine. Mother of God this must happen.

From our pal @OrlandoInformer

Compare the middle steelwork to the Wyndham Theatre (as reported by Theme Park Insider):

All that is missing is the completed raised portion on the left side. Look at the middle bump out.

And for Jaws trolling via Universal ScreenPlay:

 

[mbrou24]

Great pics. Why do I feel like they have fast tracked this project a little bit? Wow

 

[dannigold]

Those arches are just incredible, even though I am totally lost on how it all connects to the station.

Confused how?

 

[dannigold]

I meant the layout and where everything is being positioned with in the land.

 

[badlactose]

Hmmm, I'm wondering what show marquee they are going to put on the Wyndham? I know it's just a facade, but it's fun to speculate about. Maybe Les Miserables since the movie adaptation was by Universal? Or maybe Wicked, since it features witches and therefore would be a nice little nod to Potter?

I was wondering that as well. :thumbs:

Guy's, I believe that they may be building this:

on the far left of the expansion? yep i could see that

 

[JungleSkip]

Finally, the REAL King's Cross will be represented

 

[Teebin]

So, the theater will be right of the entrance and not left of it? What then will be on the immediate left?

This will likely be somewhere:

But who knows?

Also, not convinced that we're getting the real Kings Cross yet. They're building a facade to in front of/blocking the arches:

 

[Jymmymack]

Yeah, I was going to pipe in earlier and say that I thought they would build a facade in front of King's Cross that would cover the arches. Can't tell from that picture if it's tall enough to cover the station, though. Time will tell...
